Getting fit...the Marvel Way!

Well this one is probably true. Wright is the best action/comedy director working.
The first GOTG teaser was great, not sure what you're talking about. It established the tone really well with the "Starlord." "...who?" and the lineup introduction of characters, and then somehow used the beat from Hooked on a Feeling to start legit hype music for the end of the trailer.
It's honestly one of the most memorable trailers from the last few years for me.

You know. Is really idiotic to asume that what you see in a trailer is final and what you're going to get in the final movie. Specially with one so early and obviously lacking in content.
Yes. I've always thougt were all those fans where his last 2 movies bombed since apparently he has a lot of them.
Oh you.

Looks like typical Marvel pap.

Shit. I think the worst part of the trailer is that it didn't really show anything cool with the shrinking. He rode an ant. eh. I think a fight scene would have been a far better demonstration.

Trailer was okay. The beat for the "huh" was weird. Wasn't edited well.
Would rather see the second trailer. We all know that'll be closer in tone to how the movie is.

Um, his daughter? Getting a second chance? Neither of those came to mind?

Still a lot of post-production work to do.
Trailer was okay, but the "is it too late to change the name?" bit at the end made it great.
Did you miss out on Iron Man 1?

Those guardians crow posts are over 90% about box office not that the teaser looked bad. The teaser for guardians was great and most said so it is just most predicted it would bomb due to subject material. I thought the guardians teaser was beyond awesome.
The guardians trailer was awesome the ant-man one sucked. People predicting box office failure for guardians has nothing to do with how the teasers were received from a quality stand point

Making sure Ant-Man has it's own identity becomes really important.

They needed to switch out the music there. That's why the Guardians trailers worked as well as they did - when the trailer switched from serious to "no... this is a comedy," the music took a left turn towards pop territory.
This just kept with the generic SERIOUS BLOCKBUSTER soundtrack throughout all of it.
I guarantee the fast cut stuff would have played a lot better if the "huh" had been punctuated with a catchy old pop hit.

If you say so. I think Marvel wanted people to actually see this film.

This is from the footage shown at the 2014 ComicCon:

It was pretty well received by the crowd, if I recall correctly. This is why I'm not concerned about Ant-Man, despite the underwhelming teaser.
Marvel should have incorporated this into the teaser.

Wasn't really thrilled with the teaser. Seemed way too serious for Ant-Man.
Ah, I've got you. You were just one about certin GAF posters.
It was still a dumb thing for you to say. The wider internet went nuts for the first GotG trailer. Hooked on a Feeling hit #1 based on it etc.

I mostly agree with this, but I think that the Marvel brand is strong enough for now to insulate the studio from an outright failure.
Doesn't mean this couldn't underperform relative to the rest of Phase 2, though.
I hope so too, but I'm just keeping my expectations in check. The two things I want most out of the film is to see them establish Hank Pym in the history of the MCU in a convincing way, and to show how Scott Lang is a different sort of superhero. Given Marvel Studio's track record so far, I'll say the former will probably be done fairly well, but I dunno about the latter...
You mean like how the entire origin which was supposed to be about him reflecting on how his weapons were used by terrorists turned out to be his partner setting him up instead? That's exactly what I mean by watering stuff down to the point where they don't matter. Lol.

That was Edgar Wright though.

Yeah keeping the serious music when he went huh was a bad idea. Thinking we will get another with more Scott Lang sometime. Seems Hank is being shown as more serious and Lang will be more of a cut up.
An actor who I don't like is an actor who I don't like. I don't need two hours of the latest Shia LeBeouf film to tell you I'm probably not going to like him either. Your holier than thou attitude in this thread is hilarious though. How much context do I need for two one-liners anyway? Please enlighten me oh learned one.

2014 Comic Con footage.
People will see this either way.
Did not know that Peyton Reed was hired because of his box office draw, interesting.

Looking good, especially the last 30 seconds where there was a bit more action. Hopefully this is as good as previous Marvel movies because it has been a while since there has been a bad one.
I like it.
Teaser gives off a lot of potential for showing very little, especially for the more fantastical scenes. Liking the daughter angle a lot.
On board.
Lilly working him over

I'd burn all of phase 2 for an Edgar Wright heist movie (Marvel or not) in a second. It takes time to actually craft an engagingly shot movie.
edit: the box office draw on the director's name is meaningless, they gave James Gunn 200+ mil

Gave me vibes of some of the worser comic book movies of the past decade or so, not sure how I really feel about it right now.
I got none of that from the trailer. hope they dont play this one in theaters.

Well Shia was great in Fury so you should give actors a chance.
Agreed though that this is a weak teaser. Did feel like they put something out just for the sake of putting it out. Totally agree the music did not mesh well with the comedic nature of the film.
Scott Pilgrim was fantastic, but keep up your crusade. Whether Edgar Wright makes good or bad movies has no bearing on this movie anymore anyways, so Edgar Wright defenders and haters are wasting their time frankly.

Did you miss him getting arrested in the beginning of the trailer?
